| magnepan thanks everyone, some context, i love magnepan!! i recently tried to purchase the 30.1's and called the company several times but couldn't connect with somebody other than the front desk. after phone tag for weeks i lost interest and they woul... | |
| Opinions on the single driver Air Tight monitors? Just heard them in a modest but well put together system. The amp was not to my taste but well able to show off the speakers abilities (14 watt push pull tube). In the small corner room (dining room)of an open space living room and used with a sma... | |
| What sounds more musical than audionote equipment after reading the posts on this question, it just confirms to me that some just do not get it- musicality that is. I do not believe we hear different. I just believe we process the information different. for example, Mac gear is push/pull and ther... | |
| MUSICAL FIDELITY A5 CD PLAYER PROBLEM dont do that, you WILL void the warantee! and it is not worth the risk or damage to gently force the tray open which would work but...Not on a unit you own. | |
| Whic speaker sensitivity is better for an SET amp? unless the amp has a specific 4 ohm tap, forget it. the db rating is much less a factor than a flat impedance curve. higher impedances are better for tube amps unless they are specificly designed for 4 or 6 ohm speakers. 8 or higher is best with s... | |
| Wondering about Sonance products.... I actually live close to the factory and have visited once. I came away with the impression that their products in general are very good value. I will leave the sound quality no comment as it's been a while and I am not up on their latest stuff. I... | |
| Krell 400 XI not to worry, it's most likely not broken in yet! Give it at least 500 hours before you even think twice about the bass. | |
| Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ? buy the best amp you can find like the cary 805 or air tight 211 and see if they work with your speakers. If not, get rid of your speakers, they are broken. the amp is king. | |
| Tube pre- or amp: does it matter? I have not looked at the other posts, so sorry if I'm repeating anything. Just focus on the amp/speaker combo and stop even thinking about the front end for now. The amp will-WILL make the biggest real (musical) difference of any component period.... | |
| Magnepan, B&W 803, or NHT VT3 ? ? the first poster is correct about the maggies, but you will have the most fun and the most comments from guests with the maggies. they will be the most relaxing of the group for movies- no headaches by the end-they also will have by far the bigges... | |
| Maggies with Mark Levinson preamp/amp my local store sells both. It would sound great- they are a fantastic match. | |
| Which is more important, spkr. or intrc. cable? you have to go with the speaker cable hands down. the biggest most important system matching is the amp-speaker combo. get the amp and speakers right and every thing else pales in importance. You can only focus on the amp and speakers and be happy... | |
| Looking for All-a-round speaker $3k range sorry, as a big merlin fan, I can say not a chance are they pop speakers. Not even close. Don't even bother as they are not even in the ball park. Good as they are, you will not be happy. You like pop/rock, loud?? you must go with a three way spea... | |
| Zu Definition, AG Duos orCoincident Total Victory? I would go with Zu or Beauhorn over Avantgarde-From what I hear, uno and duo owners all prefer the trio if only they could afford them-and many trio owners have switched to the Beauhorn to get off the endless upgrade track and do away with the dri... | |
| Which better in Class D PS Audio or Bel Canto???? I hate bryston, but the best I ever heard them was with maggies. the best I have ever heard the 3.6's is with the belCanto's. Belles being a very close second really about the same I should say. Thats- not including any tube amps of course. I woul... |
